Another vote for the gin Mare, it’s a wonderful Spanish gin. As DM501 has said it’s with basil, thyme, rosemary and olive oil. Currently have a bottle of Blooms gin here which is very nice to drink, the taste of juniper is far more subtle that other gins so it’s something that people who don’t normally enjoy gin may enjoy.

Interestingly enough, the boom is down to not just the volume restriction lift, but also a piece of legislation being overturned after a couple of hundred years. Tony, who set up Strathearn distillery with some investment from a few of us, managed to find a tame HMRC guy who was just about at retirement, and persuaded him to support the change.

Instant knock on effect to the industry - allowing me to not only have my own whisky, but also my own gin that I can sell at gigs!

Feel free to buy any Strathearn whiskies or gins to show your appreciation for Tony’s hard work
